This book is fairly out of date, being almost 9 years old now. I wouldn't recommend it.

A better choice for programmers wanting to learn Perl is chromatic's Modern Perl (http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/).

I downvoted you mostly because I wasn't sure why you were talking about making Python exercises into a Javascript emulator/learner tool when the thread is about Perl.. but then, I wanted to cancel my vote but was unable to.

Hmm, very interesting. Looks like these translate alright, but are you running them through node.js?

"Higher Order Perl" is the book I learned most how to write functional python code.

Yes. I haven't read not a single python book. "Dive into python", "Essential Python", LPHW was boring.

I recommend HOP for every programmer.

So why was he talking about making Python exercises into a Javascript emulator/learner tool when the thread is about Perl?
